Official hiatus

//My gosh, guys, I’m so sorry for disappearing without a word. I’m bloody busy with school, making plans for next year (I finish high school in several months so you can imagine the stress), my other fandoms, and studying The Aeneid which has drained my energy for writing anything related to the classical period. I’m not deleting, but I will be going on official hiatus, probably until at least the end of the school year around December. When I’m ready I’ll pick up any threads that people might be interested in continuing and plotting new ideas. Until then, ciao!

//So I was browsing and found this! 

I haven’t logged on for a while (I’m drowning in schoolwork right now but I will get to replies someday!) so I was wondering if one of you guys made it. If not, I’ll just bring it to your attention.

Berenice 1. The most awsome person in the world 2. God in disguise Isn't Berenice awsome?

Opulence and luxury. Decadent golds and fine silks. With intricately woven rugs. Fine, imported spices. Over-sized gems. Everything in excess.

Describe my muse’s aesthetic.

//Mmhmm. You’re exactly right.

Your OTP in a fake relationship just as insurance to keep a persistent Person C (notp) off Person A’s ass. One day, Person C publicly accuses them of pretending. Person B promptly responds by pulling Person A into such a long and passionate kiss that no one questions their relationship ever again.

//I’m sorry for not being around lately! School is hectic and my Berenice muse has disappeared. I don’t want to go on hiatus, but I expect I won’t be around for possibly another couple of weeks. I’m not dropping any threads and will get around to doing replies when I’m up to it. Until then, hang in there because I’m not abandoning you!

//Sorry for disappearing on you! School’s back and I have a six credit internal about Augustus due on Tuesday. Ugh, school is exhausting. And I don’t have much inspiration for RPing. I’ll be back when I do, hopefully soon!

[princessberenice]

//I'm finished. Please don't mention the Res Gestae or Cassius Dio or the Republic to me ever again. *keyboard face*

Berenice nodded. At first it seemed that her sister was doing the opposite of what she’d advised Berenice, but the claims about the latter were real and she wanted to justify them, whereas her sister was getting bad press about something that wasn’t even true.

“It just gets to me, how they have their preconceived ideas about us!” she burst out, trying not to clench her fists. “They’re prejudiced, and it’s all wrong. They don’t truly know us.” Which was why she’d dropped their surname, hoping to disconnect herself from the family. Only now she was back where she’d started, getting angry over the media’s, and the public’s, opinion of them.

Their family’s legacy and their money might have been why both of them were where they were, and why they had what they had, but it also came with the unfortunate reputation that neither of them seemed able to shake.

“I know. It seems like it doesn’t matter how many successful movies you make, or how many stellar deals I negotiate,” she said with a sigh, “We’re still just going to be the girls who belong to the Ptolemies which makes us evil. We have to work two or three times as hard as anyone else to convince everyone of anything.”

[princessberenice]

Berenice echoed her sister’s sigh. “You’re right,” she admitted. “Why do you always have to be right?”

Her hands closed into fists, and she had to take deep breaths to stop herself from lashing out at an innocent piece of furniture. Being a Ptolemy had paved some of her way, but the rest she’d had to do herself. Her privilege came from her money, but her renown had come from the effort she’d made to make herself something more.

“You know I tried to divorce myself from this family? Took my money and ran. Look where that got me.”

[princessberenice]

Need me to help you reach that?

“Rubbing it in that you inherited your father’s tall genes, are we? I’ll have you know that I am perfectly capable of reaching my own jewellery boxes, no matter how high up they are.”

[princessberenice]

“Don’t bring that up ever again, missy, or you’ll be the one missing your head.”

[kleopatraxselene-deactivated201]

Selene grinned wildly. “Oh do not be cruel, dear Aunt. I think Mama is wrong about what she told me of you…”

[princessberenice]

“Really? Your mama is wrong about something? Interesting.” Berenice pondered that for a moment. “Just what has she told you about me?”
